Created to support the implementation of the SET-Plan, The European Technology and Innovation Platforms (ETIPs) bring together key actors like EU countries, industry and researchers to promote the market uptake of key energy technologies by pooling funding, skills, and research facilities.
The European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) is a key stepping-stone to boost the transition towards a climate neutral energy system through the development of low-carbon technologies in a fast and cost-competitive way. Elena Dufour from EERA explains us how this Plan promotes cooperation among EU countries, research institutions and companies.
Horizon Scanning is a type of Foresight method used to bring together new disciplines and expertise in new ways, to undertake systematic and usually fairly comprehensive evaluations of emerging trends, issues, priorities, etc. Our four policy-focussed Horizon Scans will each detail the top 100 energy-related Social Sciences and Humanities (energy-SSH) research questions that the

Reflections on the Energy-SHIFTS Workshop, “Use of evidence in energy policy: the roles, capacities and expectations of Social Sciences & Humanities”
“It’s possible to reap more results if SSH complements technology because SSH increases compatibility between technology and people’s everyday life needs”. Don’t miss these interesting interviews approaching several ways to engage with energy transition.
“We need to phase out fossil fuels and we need to do it fast”. This is one of the topics stakeholders discussed in the workshop in Prague. Find out other conclusions from the workshop in this video.
